Internship - Front-End Development

Climate change is real and we need to act fast. Our purpose is to restore the carbon balance in our atmosphere. We believe it’s important to have a positive impact on society, the economy, and the climate. Are you ready to join us on our mission? 🌎

Role

Before we’ll zoom into the role, we’d like to give you some outlines on the context you might become part of as our intern. Currently, the Carbyon team consists of 44 individuals (coming from 11 different countries!). High over, you could say that there’s two main teams, the team working on the sorbent (the material that adsorbs the carbon dioxide) as well as the machine development team (which creates the machine to ultimately adsorb and thus capture the carbon dioxide).

Within the machine development team we have different competencies (varying from Mechanical to Electrical Engineering and from Control Engineering to Thermal). Also, and that’s where you’ll sit, there’s the Software Team. This team currently consists of 5 people (2 architects and 3 software engineers). Essentially, the software team collectively delivers support and analysis software for an ever-growing team of scientists. Looking at the software team, you could say that they have strong affinity with cloud development, data analysis and embedded software. However, currently, Front-End Development is a skill that is not very present in the team.

And guess what, that’s where you come into play! We have a challenging assignment focused on building an intuitive Front-End for Model Simulation Environment. Huh, what?! Let’s give some more details here; At Carbyon, we are constantly trying to push the boundaries of our machines. A key method of doing so is by developing model simulations of carbon capture machines to be. The model simulations are executed in an environment developed in-house and are Python-based. This simulation environment is currently in use by Carbyon and requires a user-friendly, well-developed front-end for easier interaction, data retrieval and machine building.

Responsibilities

Being aware of the context you’ll work in by now, let’s shift into the your responsibilities. During your internship, you’ll turn our command line-based modelling tool into an intuitive, fast web-based interface. This website should only be accessible for people with a Carbyon account. There should be various roles a logged-in user can have, including developer, simulation engineer and user. The users should be able to view the machines, but also run, adapt and interpret them. Below, your key responsibility has been converted into results we aim for. It’s up to you to build a Front-End that is;

• A Python-based web-hosted access point for our modelling environment
• Able to create, change and delete models to run in the environment
• A visualizer of the built machines
• Able to display live data of a model that is currently running
• Scalable for expected growth in user base
• Designed in such a way that you can have multiple concurrent users, each with different permissions.

Why join us? 

We are a purpose-driven team of international engineers, researchers, and business professionals. We do not get easily discouraged and we join forces to ensure our dream comes true. At the heart of it all, there are people inspired by our purpose: reversing climate change!

As an intern at Carbyon you’ll be given the unique opportunity to become part of this spirited team. And while being so, you’ll be considered as a fulltime team member which’ll definitely boost your learning curve!

We offer you to:

• Make a real difference in one of the biggest challenges of our time - reversing climate change.

• Become an integral part of our fun, diverse and growing multicultural team.

• Experience the dynamic and exciting environment of a startup - where there is never a dull moment.

• Take ownership and actively participate in the decision-making process.

• Share and implement your own ideas - we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere.

• Enjoy flexible working hours and the freedom to manage your work effectively - we trust you.

• Join the daily team walks at the inspiring High Tech Campus.

• Engage in monthly team events and activities such as jeu de boules or barbecues, fostering a strong sense of community.

Our ideal candidate is someone who:

• Is currently pursuing his Bachelor’s degree (either at a Technical University or at a University for Applied Sciences
• Obviously, brings strong affinity with Front-End development (a degree in Software is not necessarily needed)
• Is available to start in Spring this year (let’s say between April and June)
• Is eager to stay with us for around 8-10 weeks
• Brings (basic) knowledge of programming concepts
• Brings (basic) Python programming skills
• Bring (basic) Front-end development skills
• Has a basic understanding of Linux
• Is fluent in English, both speaking and writing, as we work in an international environment.
• Has a proactive attitude and can easily adjust while being a team player.
• Is energized by our purpose and is ready to take a leap into our startup.
• Is willing to come to our office at least 3 times a week, because that’s where our magic happens!
